Sometimes in life we find that we have to learn the same lesson over and over. In the Seahawks case, it’s that lesson that the great Ric Flair has taught us. To be the man, you have to beat the man. The Hawks find themselves staring the man directly in the face with the Cardinals coming to town on Sunday night. Just as they looked them in the face last season when the Seahawks were 3 games back in the division. Thankfully they dispatched of the Cards with extreme prejudice that day on their way to winning their last 8 in a row and finding themselves in the home of the man for Super Bowl XLIV. In the interest of helping everyone keep their lunch down, we won’t take that lesson any further.

The NBC travelling circus known as Sunday Night Football comes to town this week. Let’s preview the game through the circus that took place on the campus of Harrison University in Old School.

“Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it’s so good!” It seems like we’ve gone 2 months without a home game and roughly about that long without a proper preview. Let’s see, what’s happened in that time? Well, the Great Gazoo (aka Colin Kaepernick) has found himself a warm spot on the bench as the Niners brass wait for the inevitable implosion of Blaine Gabbert. Our old pal Ken Whisenhunt has found himself in the enviable position of being paid millions of dollars not to coach the Titans. We now have more visual proof that Greg Hardy is a piece of human debris. And the Seahawks found ways to get a couple road wins and put themselves back in the playoff conversation after a few devastating losses. - Mark (aka HawksFN)
